Civil Svc/ Statboard - Typical Timeline for making a Hiring Decision

what about shortlisted (completed one interview, coming to 2 months plus)?

Highly likely is not selected for for next round (they will normally respond within 2 weeks)

Sharing my experience:

Had an interview early last week, up till now no news/reply. Heard that SBs usually will lock-in candidates that they want quickly and inform them one...

Close to no hope already..

that depends on which statboard u are referring to. some can take ages to reply you(eg. DSTA)

I see my skillsets like not really relevant, second lowers local.

Any advice here?

Hi,

Does anyone has experience to share on applying for position in PSD?

Do they contact their shortlisted candidates within 2 weeks after closing date of job advertisement (although it stated 8 weeks in the email)?

Thanks.
